Python is a fucking disgusting language. It's like I went out drinking all night and puked all over the carpet.

AI is good code quicker, average code quicker, and shit code quicker. Depends who is at the wheel. And let's be honest, for a lot of projects average code of good enough.

A while back I wanted to learn more about WinUI's composition APIs, so had started a little game for fun. I finally got around to polishing it a bit the past few weekends. It just got published in the store: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P…

They might have built GTA6 mostly by hand but guarantee if there ever is a GTA7 AI will have a massive hand in its creation.

How old is your copy of The Lord Of The Rings? I think I got this in 1989. At some point I had to tape the cover back on. The pages are deliciously yellow and dry. I will keep it until the end.

I wonder how many people saying GTA6 gameplay looks same-old, also complained about Breath of the Wild straying from the Zelda formula? 🤔
